This was the toughest week yet for me in submitting my Top 25 rankings to the Associated Press. I battled with if I should move Alabama all the way from No. 8 to No. 2 after its big win over Georgia. It’s a big leap, but ultimately I decided Alabama has definitely earned the position with its impressive play on the field. As it turns out, most of the other voters agreed. Here’s the rankings I submitted early Sunday morning.

1. Oklahoma
2. Alabama
3. LSU
4. Texas
5. Missouri
6. Texas Tech
7. BYU
8. Penn State
9. South Florida
10. Georgia
11. Southern Cal
12. Florida
13. Ohio State
14. Auburn
15. Utah
16. Kansas
17. Boise State
18. Wisconsin
19. Vanderbilt
20. Oregon
21. Oklahoma State
